Guys – our side game is losing its luster. This week I offer my take on my holy trinity. How I make them and of course, a wee bit of their history. We’ll also take a quick peek at the secure vault where I store my MOST dangerous items.

I love my mandolin! The tradeoff is I no longer have fingerprints on my right pointer and middle fingers
Happy 4th of July everyone! Happy Birthday to the greatest country on Earth. It's the people, not the politicians, who are America. 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️
I have the metal mesh no cut glove.
34:15 ALTON PLEEEEEEEEASE!!!! GET YOUR BOOKS RE-BOUND!!!!!
also editor i hate you for putting the smooth jazz over it
What!? No raisins in the slaw? /s
Or… A Cuisinart .. and … Done
Carrot rounds for chicken noodle soup. It was my first and only trip to the ER as an adult. I never did find the tip of my thumb. I assume one of my two german shepherds or two cats did.
Soup turned out nicely, in the end. I made homemade noodles for the first time for that one.
12:30 …or I'll use my cut glove. and not the inane unwieldy plastic nub that mangles your food.
I very much appreciate the many MANY times you tell us to use the hand guard. Those mandolins can be scary without!
Or I will use the kevlar glove that I bought specifically for that purpose. 😛
Thank you thank you thank you for editing out the chewing sounds!!!!!
Alton's got more gadgets than Batman.
That pot has a wicked smile @20:00
Alton ruined a good opportunity to bring back the end scene of his COVID handwashing PSA when warning about sharp tools
I remember watching you years ago, when you just started on TV. I am so happy I found you at youtube ! Carry on awesome Dude .
Where’s the macaroni and cheese?
You need to work on your security. You just showed everyone the code to your mandolin safe. Fingers will be lost.
Thank you alton
3:20 No Duke's Mayonnaise?? Be still my southern heart!!
Shout out to your editor. He's our hero!
My trick to shredding cabbage is to halve and core the cabbage. Then like a woodworker on a table saw I start the cutting without the guard with the half cut edge is perpendicular to the mandolin. After a few passes I then flip the cabbage 180 and use the handguard on the part I cut with the mandolin. This maximizes the yield while minimizing the safety risk so long as you only take a few passes while your hand is high above the mandolin. I would aim for about 1/8th of the half cabbage shredded by hand, definitely no more than 1/4.
I’m surprised Alton didn’t mention the great molasses flood in Boston!
Thanks for being so entertaining and fun! God bless America and you, Alton!🇺🇸
My dad thought you were Mr. Beast😅
❤😊
Sweet anything with slaws and root salads is gross.
Fantastic job as always. Love you!
Best mandoline instruction in the history of the world. Inside baseball… don't drink and slice. I personally have only lost some cuticle…bandaid time.
I use a mandolin at work all the time. Never used the guard(we don't even have one). Never got cut. Now that I've said this, I'm gonna jinx it.
I'm confused, why is there a recipe involved in my mandolin safety video?
Japan now sells a cabbage peeler. Seems a safe alternative.
10:40 My mother bought one of these for me when I was maybe 7 years old because she thought it was safer than me using a knife… 😅
